When a power-on password is set, POST does not complete until you enter the password. If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server through one of the following methods: If an administrator password has been set, enter the administrator password at the power-on prompt. (See "Using the Administrator Password menu" on page 28 for details.) Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the power-on password as previously described in this section (see steps 1 through 4). If an Administrator Password has not been set, you can change the position of the Power-On Password Override jumper, as described in "Bypassing an unknown power-on password" on page 45. You can remove the battery as described in "Battery replacement" on page 173 and then reinstall the battery. To delete a power-on password: 1. Select Power-on Password from the System Security menu; then, press Enter. The Power-on Password menu appears. 2. Select Delete Power-on Password; then, press Enter. 3. A confirmation window appears. Press Enter to delete the power-on password. Press Esc to cancel the request and return to the System Security menu. To allow the system to start in unattended mode when a power-on password is set: 1. Select Power-on Password from the System Security menu; then, press Enter. The Power-on Password screen appears. 2. Select Allow for unattended boot with password. Press the Left Arrow (←) key or Right Arrow (→) key to toggle the entry to On. Note The Allow for unattended boot with password data field must be set to On for the system to support locally or remotely scheduled system shutdowns or restarts in unattended-start mode.
